Joff Oddie from Wolf Alice has revealed a new live clip of ‘Red Pony’ – taken from his recent solo album ‘To Mr Fahey’
A cover of a John Fahey song, ‘Red Pony’ is a captivating watch – following on from the clip shared upon the album’s announcement of original song ‘To Mr Fahey’
‘To Mr Fahey’ was recorded by Joff through the course of 2019, and has been released in aid of the Trussell Trust, an anti-poverty charity that supports a network of more than 1,200 food bank centres across the UK
Speaking in a statement previously, Joff explained:
“The year is 2019 and after 11 brutal years of Tory austerity the country I love has given up on its social obligation to look after its most vulnerable members. An estimated 4 million people now live in poverty, homelessness is up by 168% since 2010 and a broken economic system has meant that over 25% of benefit claimants are actually in work. Naturally this album made up of covers of my favourite folk instrumentalists, will do little to redress these moral injustices. However, faced with a system that no longer cares it is imperative that we all do our bit. For this reason every single penny of profit from this record will be going to the Trussell Trust, a food bank charity, who at present give out over 1.33 million food parcels a year to those in need across the U.K. It is organisations like this, and the kind hearted individuals who make them up, that act as a guiding light to us all in these dark and troubled times.”
